sorry for the late reply, but yes I did get a letter that they would not pursue any disciplinary actions towards me. I get to renew my license soon :) life has been good so far. Good luck to everyone.

Hey Eluf2366, My nursing school ran a background check but Im not sure which one. Regardless, my expungement did not show up. You should be fine if you're in CA. Good luck.

Hi, I just did this recently. I applied two weeks after I graduated. I know most people in my class applied a bit earlier prior to graduation. In regards to the timeline, I heard back fairly quick- about the same amount of time it took for the rest ...

I would expunge it. Like others have said, depending on your state you might have to disclose it whether or not it is expunged or not. However, when it comes to applying I believe having it expunged will help your chances of licensure.

My bac was 0.14. I'm not sure if it gets taken into consideration. Did your classmates already get their ATT's? The holdup for us were the transcripts, once my school sent the transcripts, we heard back fairly quick.

Hi @Nataliekorn, If you call or go to the police department that arrested you, you can request them to give you copies of your police report that are stamped with their seal. They weren't able to provide me the copies on the spot but mailed it to me...
Hello, Wanted to share my experience and timeline with the CA BRN. In August 2010 I was pulled over for a DUI. Convicted in early 2011 with a misdemeanor. Expunged my conviction mid 2014 prior to nursing school. Graduated nursing school mid- May 20...

Hi, I faced something similar. I was accepted to a BSN program and during orientation the nursing dept chair told everyone that the criminal background check that they used uncovered any misdemeanors/felonies we wouldn't be able to attend clinical. ...

3rdeyeRN, don't give up! Have you tried applying to non hospital facilities like clinics? I think like you said you just need to get off probation and then you can work at a hospital eventually with a clean license. Please continue to update when you...

I almost got kicked out for a misdemeanor. They said that it would be close to impossible to place me in clinical sites if it wasn't expunged. So I had it expunged before the school ran the background check. Make sure to check with your school and ...

I was able to attend nursing school after I got my DUI conviction expunged. I am in CA. I'm not sure about the NCLEX, I'm sure I will hit a tall brick wall when I get there. But I am optimistic...sorta.

I barely go on anymore but I just wanted to update. I'm in my second year of nursing school now. I was able to get a lawyer that helped me expunge within two weeks--however it was super costly. Everything worked out for me school-wise. It is impossib...
